WARNING
ABS:
The ABS cannot compensate for
unsafe and reckless driving, exces-
sive speed, tailgating (following
another vehicle too closely), and
hydroplaning (reduced tire friction
and road contact because of water
on the road surface). You can still
have an accident. So don’t rely on
ABS
as a substitute for safe driving.
WARNING
Antilock Brake System Light:
If the amber antilock brake system
warning
light remains on or comes
on while driving, a fault has been
detected in the antilock brake sys-
tem, and the antilock system has
been disabled. Have the braking
system checked by a qualified ser-
vice
technician as soon as possible.
